Bruce Springsteen Releases New Song “Adelita”
American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen will release his new collection “Tracks II: The Lost Albums”, consisting of seven previously-unheard albums, on June 27, 2025.
From the collection, he released a new song “Adelita” on May 30, 2025.
The song is featured on the lost album “Inyo”, which is one of the collection.
The track is an ode to Mexico's female “soldaderas”, who played a major role in the country's fight for independence.
It was written and produced by Bruce Springsteen, with production Ron Aniello.
The album “Inyo” comprises 10 tracks. Thematically, several songs on the album examine the Mexican diaspora, how border crossing between Mexico and the U.S. has affected generations and the cultural losses endured as a result.
It is a musical thread that Bruce Springsteen first began to examine by covering Ry Cooder's “Across the Borderline” on his 1988 Tunnel of Love Express tour.
While primarily tracked as a solo record, “Inyo” features mariachi contributors including Luis Villalobos, Alberto Villalobos, Angel Ramos, Humberto Manuel Flores Gutierrez, David Glukh, Jorge Espinosa, and Miguel Ponce.- Bruce Springsteen said of the album, “There was constant border reporting in the Los Angeles Times, so it was a big part of your life. 'Inyo' was a record I wrote in California during long drives along the California aqueduct, up through Inyo County on my way to Yosemite or Death Valley. I was enjoying that kind of writing so much. [On 'The Ghost Of Tom Joad' tour] I would go home to the hotel room at night and continue to write in that style because I thought I was going to follow up 'The Ghost of Tom Joad' with a similar record, but I didn't. That's where 'Inyo' came from. It's one of my favorites.”
